Previous studies on child trafficking have focused on transborder phenomena due to the magnitude of the levels of exploitation observed in this context. Unfortunately, such a focus has greatly neglected child trafficking and its traits within the borders of a particular country. The goal of this article is to take stock of the situation in Madagascar. Our research is the first to empirically explore the issue in relation to Madagascar. It presents a typology of patterns in child trafficking based on the results of qualitative research. It examines the impact of supply-and-demand factors on child trafficking and discusses the approaches that should be used in the implementation of anti-trafficking policies. Our analysis therefore offers an opportunity to reassess the policies that have been enacted to eradicate child trafficking. © 2016, © 2016 Taylor & Francis.
